The Salt Craze.

The majority of our readers will re-
member the blue glass craze which ragged
so furiously in 1912. The manufac-
tories of blue glass reaped an enormous
harvest, and people who never allowed
the sun to shine upon them before per-
mitted its beams to reach them through
blue glass hung in convenient southern
windows. There are some indications
that another craze is coming to take the
place of blue glass and the more recent
Juror of hot water. The latest is the
consumption of sea salt or rock salt from
Turks Island as a cure for nearly all the
Ills of the body. The craze has reached
Utica and is travelling this way. So far,
the sea salt eaten in season and out of
season has been found to cure consump-
ton, dyspepsia and kidney difficulty,
headache and general good for nothing

King Solomon's Mines.
San Francisco Bulletin

New gold fields are constantly be- ing discovered which promise to re- move for the present all fears of any very large diminution of the regular supply. The Alaska mines are in a lusty infancy. In Colombia, Vene- zuela, Guiana and Bolivia gold mining has taken a new lease of life. The south African mines are, some of them, marvelously rich, and new ones are rewarding the enterprise of pros pectors. A few months ago atten- tion was called to the gold fields of the Amoor river. There is some trouble about their development owing to the jealousies of the Chinese and Siberian authorities, but that is a matter sus- ceptible of settlement. In Australia there is the promise of the opening of extensive and rich diggings.
 The latest report of valuable dis coveries comes from Sumatra. A few years ago Frenchman named Wallon came upon abundant traces of gold in the native kingdom of Acheen. Wal lon lost his life in the course of his explorations, but news of his dis covery found its way to civilization, and recently Russian adventurer uamed Hendenstrom followed in his footsteps. He encountered great diff culties, but finally, with the aid of a native prince, made his way into the interior and prospected the region. His experience was most encouraging. Gold was found in large quantities. The report comes from him that in many localities the ground yields from POO to 300 francs to the cubic metre. Mir. Hendenstrom found traces of old workings in tho gold fields, and tradition has it that King Solomon drew precious metal from Sumatra.
 Be that as it may, the Russian pros pector, after fresh difficulty, obtained a concession from the native authori- ties, and it is probable that steps will soon be taken to open the new gold fields.

Pie for the Pious Author. New York Graphic.


 Among the pets and patrons of the muses who have been reading their own writings at Chickering Hall, there are some truly good authors, like Brother Cable and Brother Roe. It must be grief to them, as It is to us, that so few literary men are all that they ought to be from doc- trinal point of view. But the very paucity of piety in the charmed ranks of letters serves to emphasize the ad- mirable position of the pious few.
 To them with special holiday sig nificance appeals the offer of the Con- gregational Sunday-schoOl and Pub fishing Society of Boston. It pro- vides one prize of S700 and one of $500 for the first and second best MSS. suitable for Sunday school books, either of fiction, biography or history. Now let Brother Roe and Brother Cable turn themselves loose and gain more by one Sunday school book than Milton got for "Paradise Lost" This is their golden opportu- nifty. Brother Lew Wallace, who has a mind for serious things, might also join the competition.
 To the ink-stand, children of the pious muse!

A PRECIOUS THOUGHT.

l have thought, but cannot give 1t speech; lis like material with which to make An instrument of song, which, tho reach The music buried there I cannot break It's attitude of silence with word, And so 1t lies, unspoken and unheard. Iris like a flower growing in the gloom,
 And which eager search, but cannot find, But may freely breathe the sweet perfume And let it's fragrance penetrate my mind It may be but the promise of thought Which God, in mercy to my soul, has brought Lest be too content with lower things,
 And I, in groping for expression, may Uncon nsciously be spreading out my wings For flight unto yon heavens mount away, For back of all earth's shadows doth appear The form which casts but reflection here.

in the courts. If that transaction is square, 1 can open gold mine in the town of Wauwatosa, and picture gold coins being hauled away by the cart load, and l can sell stock to blind men, idiots and lunatics, and not be pun ished for it."
 "Well, say" said the drummer, "isn't it possible that you are too hard on these fellows that. sold you the stock? Now, may be they, too, were deceived in the purchase of the mine, by designing persons. They may have bought that hole in the ground 'un- sight, unseen,' the way boys trade jack knives, and had a worthless hole in the ground sawed off on them for a mine. You know, during a mining excitement, men who are lousy with mines do business on the jump. A man comes along and says, for in- stance, Here, have got mine called the Montmorency, forty feet in good ore, which 1 want to sell. I need a quarter of million dollars this morn- ing, to buck the tiger, and buy me some silk undershirts and diamonds. Will any gentleman take it?' A min- ing man who was long on money, and who didn't know what on the earth he was going to do with his surplus in the treasury, and who had an engage ment to go out to dinner, and was afraid thieves might break through and steal, might say, Here, boss, Pll take that mine. John, shovel quar- ter of million dollars out of that bir nearest the door, and give it to this fellow!' Now, it is just possible the men who sold you that stock, bought the mine in that way, and thought it was rich. and not wishing to own the earth, they let you in on the ground floor, just because you were friend and may be they don't know to this day that the mine is no good. Have you told them about it? May be il would be kindness if you would go to them frankly and tell them that the mine isn't worth six bits," and the drummer looked honest, as though he believed what he said.
 'No, there is no doubt but what they are on to it," said the old kicker as he got up to leave the car. "They were on to it when they sold it to me and they go around block when they see me coming. They will not give anything back. am ruined, and all am praying for now is to live long enough now tc bring them up before the courts in front of the widow and orphans and a jury. Good morning gents" and the old kicker got off the car and started for his lawyers office
 "That's pretty tough case" said the drummer.
 "You bet your life," said the insur- ance man, "and that is only one case il thousand. tell you there will be { chance to hear something drop heavy before Christmas" and the car stopped at the turn-table, and all got off.

A QUESTION OF INTEREST

Tie assessor books show that
there has been a falling off in
sheep Of about 1000 in this coun-
ty since the returns last year.
AS we have noted in another ar
ticle in this issue of The Sentinel,
this would also show a falling off
in the wool CLIP of 10000 lbs
There is a question whether this
is true or not. Many persons
travelling through the country the
past month find many flocks that
do not at all agree with the re-
turns made by The assessors. in
some cases the flocks being one
half greater than what has been
returned. If the same ratio
should hold out all over the cOun-
ty, there really has been an in
crease in our flocks and a larger
clip in the county than last year.
This is a question, we think
that would be of more than pass.

The above leading editorial in

1t is we'll known that the Edi

claiming that the ghost or spirit
